Hazel is really into crafting lately, she loves to paint pictures, glue crazy eyes onto paper, and she really enjoyed this Valentine’s Day craft. She especially loved that we got to make something for someone else -she and I have the same love language in that way I guess.

We play inside, we play outside, we go to the store, and I feel like by the end of the day I haven’t sat down with her to read a book or teach her, her colors.
